Re: WNBA Finals - Fever Vs. Lynx

Catch is all over the place.

Augustus does have a beautiful crossover.

Re: WNBA Finals - Fever Vs. Lynx

Maya Moore's stroke looks beautiful - so silky smooth, but somehow it doesn't go in as often as it looks like it should.

Re: WNBA Finals - Fever Vs. Lynx

You know...I've had my issues with Katie because it seemed to me in years past she would go on an epic cold shooting streak in the playoffs. But this year she's been so good. She was averaging over 25 points a game in the Connecticut series and basically carried us when Catch had an off night. So I'm feeling positive about Douglas right now.

Though I wish her ankle wasn't so floppy.

Yea, it's funny, Taurasi is much more likely to take a three, but she rarely misses from midrange.

Moore, her shot is a little flat. She was certainly more accurate in college. But she's another that would much rather take threes than midrange. Funny enough, when talking about NBA/WNBA comparisons, Maya's game is probably more similar to Danny than anyone.

Minnesota committed like eight offensive fouls on that possession. Wow, at being up 21...

My comparison to Dunleavy was not negative I think she has a similar game, I wish she didn't get hurt Indiana needs her

Oh. hahaha.

You have to admit, around here it's almost like saying Dunn reminds you of JOB.

Re: WNBA Finals - Fever Vs. Lynx

Wow, Fever are just taking it to the Lynx! Zellous has been really good. Two down, Zellous, Phillips, and January step UP!

And we are still full court pressing. Hahaha.

Get a 40 point lead and Dun can rest those guards.

Not to take anything away from the Fever, because they have been great, but there's no excuse for this from Minnesota's perspective.

people complain about "superteams" in the NBA, the Minnesota team is not only stacked..but stacked correctly (aka, the pieces fit) have had a year to play together and gell..and they've played poorly in the playoffs. (It was probably a bit of a warning sign when an injured Sue Bird almost took Minnesota down by herself.I mean, January, Erin, and Zellous are good players, but they aren't Whalen, Maya, and Augustus. All three have arguments for "top 3 players at their position." And Rebecca Brunson is no slouch. And then they actually have the deepest bench in the league.

Unbelievable really. And I hope it continues (this series obviously isn't over yet), because there's not a player in the league who deserves a ring more than Catch. I just wish Katie could play so she could really enjoy it.

Re: WNBA Finals - Fever Vs. Lynx

Whalen is too old Sookie. I'm sorry, but she is just getting her *** handed to her by these younger players.

She's only 30 (if that). She is injured. (Not that it's an excuse, Indiana is playing without their second best player.)

I do think a player like January is probably the worst possible matchup for her. She's slow and strong, and January can just get around her. But she's honestly just had a poor playoff run, which is strange for Lindsay. Like I said, Bird absolutely destroyed her, and Sue needed hip surgery and was practically limping, so Lindsay's poor playoff performance is on her..not an injury excuse.

Not that she's been the only problem for the Lynx. Seimone has been very inconsistent, and Maya's trying to do too much, and Brunson really hasn't played like she's capable of.

Re: WNBA Finals - Fever Vs. Lynx

How much ball has Whalen played though now? Lots of miles on that body and she looks like it right now.

She's actually not played as much as some other players her age. I'm actually pretty sure she doesn't go overseas in the off season. She did play through the Olympic break...but so did Catch. (Who is older. And has played more basketball.)

I think she's just playing bad. LoL. I think a lot of it has to do with the way January is playing, and the defense Erin and January have played on her. But she's really just been pretty bad. But it hasn't just been her. I mean, Maya and Seimone broke out last game, and they likely will again. But they haven't been themselves either.

On another note, just take Zealous, Erin, and January out. Minny can't catch up, and those three need the rest.
